Given the inter-dependence of the entities within the Group, compliance was achieved by the Group and full details are set out in the consolidated financial statements of Richmond UK Holdco Limited. Principal risks and uncertainties The principal risks and uncertainties are integrated with those of the Group and are not managed separately. All of the key business risks and uncertainties disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are also applicable to the Company. As the Company’s principalactivity is an investment holding companythe keyrisk is the potential impairment of those investments. The Company monitors investments throughout the year and, in particular, at the year-end for potential impairment. The Company ensures that the investment values remain supportable by monitoring the net asset position of its subsidiaries and their expected future performance. In addition to those risks and uncertainties disclosed in the signed Group financial statements, the Group has highlighted an epidemic/global pandemicrisk, identified after the signing of the Group financial statements, in relation to recent events: e Future lockdowns As demonstrated in 2020,thereis a risk that an epidemic or global pandemic can impactthe travel and leisure industry, with the possibility of full park closure. Although we cannot control the risk, we have shown that holiday parks can provide safe, clean environment and our caravans and lodges offer a naturally social distanced experience. Should a similarsituation arise in the future we would again take an active stance in promotingthe inherent social distancing on the holiday parks and ensuring safety measuresare in place on park, campaigning to ensure our parks could re-open as early as possible, in a safe way and following government guidelines and regulations closely to ensure full adherence for customer and team members’ safety. : Through experience, we are able to adequately plan for closure, minimising costs while being able to work remotely if required, utilising the business continuity plan, ensuring customers are at the forefront of decision making, and managing and maintaining available liquidity. The Group’s normaltrading cycle includes the requirementto close and re-open parks at the end and beginningofthe holiday seasons, so we have operational plans in place to conduct this in an orderly and efficient manner. « COVID outbreak on park There is a risk that a COVID-19 or other outbreak could take place on our parks, which would lead to financial impact due to closure and could cause reputational damage. The Group has implemented all measures required to meet government guidelines to provide a safe holiday for customers and working environment for employees. This includes social distancing measures, deep cleans, PPE for employees, a contactless check-in and check-out system, as well as track and trace methodology on park. Parkdean Resorts Limited Annualreport and financial statements 31 December 2019 Strategic report (continued) Key performance indicators The key performance indicators used by the Group are revenue and EBITDA. Future developments On 24 March 2020 all of the Group’s holiday parks were closed as a result of the Government and devolved Governments ordered lockdown and remained closed until the re-opening of the parks in England on 6 July 2020 followed by re-opening of parks in Wales and Scotland. Following park re-opening, the Group has recovered with strength, showing a promising future bookings position and cash holding at the date of signing these financial statements. Looking ahead, there remains uncertainty regarding the ongoing impact of COVID-19, the wider economic repercussions and the potential for further lockdown measures. Despite the huge challenges faced, particularly in the travel and hospitality sectors, as a UK short stay holiday operator the Group is well-placed to benefit from the reluctance people may have to travel overseas at the moment.
